"DSM tuners are a strange sort. They don't like talking about wings or color-matching side skirts and interiors. DSM tuners are performance-obsessed sleeper fanatics who dream only about downpipes, exhaust gases, and wastegates. Their cars aren't pretty, but have the ability to spank you silly on the highway. In other words, DSM tuners write checks their cars can cash. Mention the word "chrome" and they might drop a boot to your skull" -SuperStreet

 

 

AWD TURBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My car has been a work in progress. I have owned this car for three years now and it is slowly becoming what I intended it for...a fun, clean car that hauls ass!!!

The car when I first got it. The guy who owned it before me took really nice care of it. When I bought it, it had a full 3" cat-back exhaust, K&N filter, front struts and sway bar, Eibach springs, dual orion subs, pioneer faceplate, and thats about it. Everything else was done by me. Hope you enjoy it and don't forget to rate me!

These are some pictures of the car right after I first got it

 

Custom 18X8 Konig Verdict Wheels in black opal.

STEREO:

Kenwood 1000w amp I changed out from my other Eclipse

This is the JVC 200w deck that I swapped into the car after I got it

This picture shows my old dual 10in Orion subs but i swapped out my dual 10in Kicker subs instead. Much more space now.

 

 

ENGINE ELECTRONICS:

Apexi Turbo Timer








Autometer Boost Gauge and AEM UEGO Wideband

Engine Management: DSMLink V.2

 

TURBO:

About one year after I had the car I decided it was time for some more power! The first obvious thing to do was bigger tubro and supporting fuel mods...




Stock T25 turbo vs my new FP3052 ball-bearing turbo


















^^Nice difference huh??^^

 

FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER:

This is my new Dejon big FMIC. It is a 23" x 12" x 3" side to side flow core.

Here is a picture of my old stock 2g side mount IC. Its hard to tell but that is a soda can next to it. Compare it to the soda can next to my new FMIC...BIG difference!

Here are some shots of the new FMIC on the car...It was a major pain in the butt to install because it is so big!







^^I think I hit some bugs...^^

 

SHIFTER MODS:

Stock rubber shifter base bushings compared to my new Symborski metal shifter base bushings. This install was an amazing mod for the money! The shifts are so much tighter and more accurate with the metal bushings.

Before install and after install





Stock rubber shifter cable bushings compared to my new brass shifter cable bushings. This mod along with the shifter base bushings really tightened the shifter feel even more.

Before install and after install





B&M short shifter compared to the stock shifter





To top everything off, I had to get the GReddy Counterweight Shift knob. This knob really reduces shift effort because the little thing weighs almost a pound!

       

 

 

BRAKE UPGRADES:

 

Just got my new drilled and slotted rotors going on this summer with some Hawk HPS pads!

 

       

 

 

       

 

ARP Head Studs and Brian Crower 272/272 camshafts!

 

             

 

 

METH INJECTION!

Currently I am only running 23 lbs of boost with 15 degrees timing advance because my 650s are maxing out with a 90% IDC.

 

Tank and pump mounted in the trunk

             

                The meth is activated by this pressure switch.  It is set to start spraying at 10psi

7 gph nozzle with a nickle plated check valve

            

 

FueLab Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator

 

Just washed and waxed with my friends 2g Talon

          

 

            

 

 

            

 

            

 

 

 

 

 

 

Start up after Cam install (idle is 900 rpm):

 

 

 

A quick neighborhood pull from 1st through 3rd to 75mph (not really flooring it until midway through first).

 

Highway pull at a DSM meet.  Started pulling right behind my friend's Talon (the guy who is filming).
